Crowdsourcing
TCL partners with uTest to bring the on-demand Software as a Service model to the UK market.
In today's rapidly growing and truly global software industry, success is now more than ever dependant on the quality of the software that is produced. A good quality product or service leads to satisfied and loyal customers, that is the main goal of every company. A business that compromises on quality, in the long run loses out on loyal customers.
The challenge IT managers and software executives have, is common; how to effectively test applications to a high quality, on time and within budget whilst balancing resources!? There are a number of options for staffing and sourcing the various tasks of software testing, which, can be accomplished through a combination of three staffing methods:
- In-house staff
- Outsourcing firms
- Crowdsourcing communities
These three options have historically been viewed by some as an "either/or" choice. But because of technology and innovative business models, this is no longer the case. uTest Crowdsourcing is revolutionising how companies test software.
